What reading level is The Conduct of Life 6 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Greenough? Have you heard Everett, Garrison, Father Taylor, Theodore Parker ? Have you talked with Messieurs Turbinewheel, Summitlevel, and Lacofrupees ? Then you may as well die. In New York the question is of some other eight, or ten, or twenty. Have you seen a few lawyers, merchants and brokers, — two or three scholars, two or three capitalists, two or three editors of newspapers ? New York is a sucked orange. All conversation is at an end when we have discharged ourselves of a dozen persona...lities, domestic or im- ported, which make up our American existence.
Nor do we expect anybody to be other than a faint copy of these heroes.
Life is very narrow. Bring any club or company of intelligent men together again after ten years, and if the presence of some penetrating and calm- ing genius could dispose them to frankness, what 132 CONDUCT OF LIFE, a confession of insanities would come up ! The " causes " to which we have sacrificed, Tariff or Democracy, Whigism or Abolition, Temperance or Socialism would show like roots of bitterness and dragons of wrath ; and our talents are as mis- chievous as if each had been seized upon by some bird of prey which had whisked him away from fortune, from truth, from the dear society of the poets ; — some zeal, some bias, and only when he was now gray and nerveless was it relaxing its claws and he awaking to sober perceptions.
